Google is now integrated into the iMessage apps drawer

Google has announced that its app for iOS is introducing several new changes today.&nbsp;For starters, the Google app for iOS now supports an iMessage extension that lets users search for and share things like videos, businesses, and more when messaging others. In the example below, icons like “Food” or “Nearby” can be tapped to discover and then share locations directly within iMessage. To the right of the search bar is a dedicated button which switches things into GIF Search mode. If you already have the Google app, as long as you’re updated to the newest version, it should automatically appear in the iMessage apps drawer.

Now Google is giving you a chance to take a peek. Scientists just discovered a multi- planet system using the crowdsourcing approach in January. Other data sets are increasingly becoming more accessible as the search for exoplanets continues.

Armchair astronomers are being given the chance to discover their own planet using NASA satellite data, thanks to a new website. Planethunters is the latest of Dr Lintott’ s Zooniverse projects that get ordinary people to help carry out • Discover space for yourself and do fun science with a telescope.

In December, Google and NASA researchers announced they’d found two new exoplanets using a neural network.

Now, the code used to make the discovery has been released for free.

“We hope this release will prove a useful starting point for developing similar models for other NASA missions, like K2 (Kepler’s second mission) and the upcoming Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite mission,” Chris Shallue, a Senior Software Engineer at Google, wrote on the company's Research Blog.

Researchers can now use (and adapt) the computer code to look for new worlds hidden in the vast reams of data gathered by the Kepler space telescope.

Scientists discover secret 'supercolony' of penguins in Antarctica

Scientists had previously feared that the Adélie penguins' numbers had been in decline because of climate changeNumbering more than 1.5 million birds, they were first noticed “when great patches of their poo, or guano, showed up in pictures taken from space,” says the BBC.

Astronomers are giving everyone the chance to discover a planet over the internet. They want the public to help in the search for new worlds orbiting distant stars.Participants do not need a telescope. Stars with three planets instead of two?

Help analyse the stars to track exoplanets and claim the reward of planet 'Jonathan'. Planet John Smith. Once we've found a nice planet like this one but with perhaps a bit less rain and slightly lower gravity now everyone' s so fat, the plan is to Because really, who doesn’t want to discover a planet ?"

The Kepler mission—and its successor, K2—hunt for exoplanets by looking for twinkles in the sky. When a planet passes between a star and a telescope, it creates a tell-tale temporary dimming. Between 2009 and 2013, when the Kepler mission ended, the telescope continuously watched about 150,000 stars, staring resolutely at a single patch of sky.

Researchers have confirmed the existence of 2,342 exoplanets using Kepler data, but there’s still a lot to go through. On the github page for the Google code, the researchers note that there are over three million files (one terrabyte) of Kepler data, which can take up to a week to download completely. It’s easier to look at the data in smaller chunks, which is how the Google team found the two exoplanets in the first place.

Google Images will display captions on mobile searches

Google is now adding captions to image results in an effort to give images more context. Image captions are set to roll out globally this week on the Google app on Android and iOS, and in mobile web browsers. There’s no word yet on whether the feature will roll out to desktop browsers, which have a slightly different look than mobile web browsers.Now when you Google search for images, each image will have a caption in bold. The captions will be the titles of the web page where each image is published.

“We used machine learning to help identify planets that were missed by previous searches of the Kepler data,” Christopher Shallue, a senior software engineer with Google ’ s research team Google AI, said during a Dec. Kepler Scientists Discover Almost 100 New Exoplanets.

And now researchers want the help of citizen scientists to discover if Planet 9 is real or not. He was able to automatically look at 5 percent of the WISE catalog, but he wasn’t able to find any new objects.

Automated software looks for those dips in light that might indicate a swiftly passing planet, which narrows down the data pool considerably. But astronomers still have to manually check that data to confirm the existence of a planet. Understandably, they focus on the most likely candidates, which leaves a lot of data unexamined. That’s where the neural network developed by Google comes in, taking another look at signals the automated software might have missed, and flagging likely candidates.

The Google program isn’t perfect. It can still mistake binary stars or other stellar phenomena for planets, and it is still being developed.

A similar approach has already been used for a while, but instead of using a machine brain, researchers turned to human brains all over the world, releasing Kepler data to projects like Exoplanet Explorers and Planet Hunters which let citizen scientists look through data and flag potential planets for astronomers to look at more closely.

Scientists just discovered a multi-planet system using the crowdsourcing approach in January.

Other data sets are increasingly becoming more accessible as the search for exoplanets continues. Earlier this year a group of universities released a large dataset of stars accumulated over 20 years by the ground-based W.M. Keck Observatory, which is also looking for exoplanets.

Whether you're satisfied hearing about exoplanet discoveries after the fact, or you’d like to try your brain (or your computer’s) at discovering one for yourself, the search for exoplanets is only getting bigger. Things are likely to ramp up even more after next month's launch of NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) which will look at 200,000 bright stars near our sun to see which might be similar to our own solar system.

What unknown worlds might be hiding near nearby stars? We’ll never know until we take a look.
